<\/div>\nThe Turkey Feathers Watercolor is an excellent addition to the turkey crafts<\/a> and the cookie cutter crafts<\/a> on the site.<\/p>\n Painting with a cookie cutter is an easy craft for kids to do. This gives a template, and the results are loads of fun.<\/p>\n Turkey Feather painting is painting inside Turkey Feather cookie cutters with watercolor paints. A fun painting and fine motor activity for kids.<\/p>\n You can make this turkey feather painting with kids in preschool (ages 3 to 4), prek (ages 4 to 5), and kindergarten (ages 5 to 6).<\/p>\n A great Book to read with this Turkey craft is There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Turkey<\/a>! It is a fun read and kids will love the sequencing in the story.<\/p>\n We have included links to some of the products and resources we have used with this activity. If you purchase via the links we may earn a small commission<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n There are some of the things you could prepare ahead of time for younger kids. But know that older kids could do these steps.<\/p>\n We used a circle cookie cutter and trace the circle and then cut out the brown circles. If you are doing this ahead of time you can cut several circles at the same time.<\/p>\n If kids are doing this let them hold the cookie cutter and trace the circle and then cut the circle out out.<\/p>\n You fold orange construction paper and then cut triangles out of the folded paper. You can have older kids do this step.<\/p>\n Then you are going to punch out small 5\/8 circles for the turkey’s eyes. This step is easy for kids to do but if time is a limit of you don’t have any punches you can do in advance.<\/p>\n You could also skip the eyes and use wiggle eyes<\/a> for crafts.<\/p>\n You can draw a small circle on the watercolor paper. This is to help kids see where the weathers should be stamped around. It is a guide and you can skip this step if you want. But it does help.<\/p>\n You can have older kids trace the circle on their paper. Just have them put part of the 1\/4 circle off the paper.<\/p>\n You can see the steps below that we used to make the Turkey Feather watercolor painting.<\/p>\n You are going to place the turkey feather on the watercolor paper. You will have the feather point toward the circle at the bottom of the page. And if kids don’t do that. It is okay.<\/p>\n You hold the cookie cutter in place and then paint inside the cookie cutter. You can hold on the side or the top of the cookie cutter. <\/p>\n Have kids do what is easier for them to do. I know we switch up how we hold the cookie cutters based on the shape of the cookie cutter.<\/p>\n You can lift up the cookie cutter and see the feather that you painted. You can see the shape of the feather on the paper.<\/p>\n You are going to keep painting Turkey feathers. This is loads of fun for kids to do. You can just do one row or do two rows of feathers. Let kids decide how much or how little they will do.<\/p>\n You can see how you can overlap the feathers and make different rows of feathers.<\/p>\n You are going to blue on the head of the Turkey at the bottom of the paper. You can see we used the circle we draw to help find the place to put the head.<\/p>\n You will draw the black circles on the white paper to make the eyes. Then you will glue the eyes on the brown cricle.<\/p>\n The final step we do is glue the bead on the head of the turkey. This is fun to see how kids od the beak and every one will glue it on differently. And that is okay.<\/p>\n Turkey Watercolor Painting<\/a> is a simple turkey painting with cookie cutters that kids can do and have fun painting lots of turkeys.<\/p>\n The No-Prep Turkey Week Packs<\/a> are great for working on disguising a turkey and turkey themed activities for prek, kindergarten, first grade, second grade, third grade, and fourth grade.<\/p>\n The Washi Tape Turkey<\/a> is tons of fun to make and looks really neat when it is done. It is also great for fine motor and kids don’t even know it.<\/p>\n Turkey Activity Pack<\/a> has Prewriting, Shapes, ABCs, & Numbers all with a turkey theme.
